A study on the relationship between personality and motivation in leisure participants.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Motivation and personality, which are among the most important effects of human behavior, are important in terms of leisure activities. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the relationship between motivation and personality of individuals who participate in physical activity in their leisure time. In the study, the correlational screening model was used, and 370 (m:28.76±10.37) participants who regularly practiced physical activity participated. The relationship between the data obtained in the research was tested with canonical correlation analysis, and the first two canonical correlation functions between the two variable data sets were interpreted. Self-control and extraversion sub-dimensions in the personality data set and internal regulation and external regulation sub-dimensions in the motivation data set were found to make the highest contribution. It was determined that for the first set of canonical functions, the relationship between self-control and internal regulation had a unidirectional correlation, whereas, for the second set of canonical functions, the relationship between extraversion and external regulation had an inverse correlation. Studies show how valuable intrinsic motivation sources are for individuals, and personality traits such as self-control and extraversion support this situation. It is considered that the personality traits of leisure time participants may be a clue to the types of motivation of the participants.
